A key for understanding the importance of SSI variations to the climate system, and particularly to regional climate effects arising from solar forcing in general, is the establishment of the top-down mechanism during the CAWSES-II period (Gray et al. [2010]).
The Indian Ocean dipole (IOD) is a climate mode arising from an ocean atmosphere interaction that causes interannual climate variability in the tropical Indian Ocean (Saji et al. 1999; Webster et al. 1999).
Dr. Parkinson, the Aqua project scientist, says some of the uncertainties about global warming and climate change arise from conflicting data gathered by different instruments at different times in different parts of the world.
